Meta Faces Lawsuit Over Kids' Safety
Meta goes to court to answer claims its platforms harm children and create addiction.
A big trial starts for Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram. States are suing Meta. They say the company knew its apps hurt young people. These apps cause addiction and are not safe for kids.
Attorneys from California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey lead this fight. They say Meta tricked the public. Meta told people its platforms were fine. But the states argue Meta knew about the dangers to children. The company hid this information.
Now, a judge will hear the case. This trial asks if Meta put profits over safety. It will decide if Meta should pay for the harm its apps may have caused. This case could change how social media companies build their products.
